Hmmm I don't know how I feel about this place. First, let me start by saying that their staff is…read morereally nice so that's not the problem. I've been to Belo before 13 years ago when I was on vacation in the Philippines I went several times to the Belo Clinic at the Podium and I had a great experience there. Since I enjoyed my last previous visits I thought I'd come back to try them out again, this time at the Shangri-La Plaza. The doctors and staff have been kind to me, this is a review mainly for my experience during the Glycolic Peel. I just wanted a facial to soothe some redness and also get a cleaning done. Mind you, I've done cleanings here in the U.S. so I know what they feel like and I've also done them at Belo Clinics before. Anyway, I got a Glycolic Peel and the peel portion was fine and painless but damn the cleaning hurt so bad! OMG! It was torture! I swear I would have thought the esthetician hated me! I know there's usually that blackhead remover tool they use but it felt like she was following it up with a needle poke in each pore! it was HELL! I was literally crying my makeup off and I don't know why she didn't stop or try to adjust to make it less painful. It was the worst hour of my life and vacation LOL. On top of the pain, because she poked my pores with a needle or whatever she was using, my skin looked like shit the rest of my vacation! My nose had red blood dots from the needle and my nose ended up looking like a strawberry. The worst! It finally only healed now since I'm back in the states. On top of that, I was prescribed a cream to soothe the redness and they charged me 1600 PHP ($31) for Bioderma Brand and when I got home to the U.S. I found out that it's a cheap brand that they sell at Walmart and Walgreens for only $11 -___- Yeah, definitely not a pleasant experience. I suggest doing your research first before buying medication or lotions from here. It's probably cheaper to get it outside the clinic.

Compared to the United States, the prices in the Philippines is so much cheaper. So every time I…read moretake a vacation here, I always make sure to stop by a spa so that I can take a dip in the fountain of youth! They have a noninvasive procedure here called Ultra V Lift. It is an effective anti-wrinkle facelift and skin tightening procedure that has been very popular in Korea due to its safe, fast and effective results, and they have it in the Philippines! They also have other services here including facials, massages, body contouring, and other slimming treatments. They also have glutathione drip, but if you have high blood pressure. They won't offer it to you. I tried to get one, but their nurse on duty said no. It's good that they use precautions here. The place is conveniently located in Makati, but they have other locations all over Manila. Watch out for their monthly promotions. Last month, I received 20% off my treatments. Fantastic deal!

Malling around Ayala Center, you see many different shops, restaurants, clothing brands, and what I…read morelove the most. Spa services! As I was walking, I happen to see Cathy Valencia and had heard of her name probably from word of mouth or online advertisements. Now I know there's a branch in Makati. I asked my friend who lives in Manila if she's ever experienced their Clinic. She said no, but to different clinics one of which is in BGC. I looked up both clinics websites and contacted them with a few inquiries about what I'd be interested in and perhaps make an appointment. A day later, I get a Viber message from a customer service person from CV who was happy to help me out. With the concerns and interests I have, there was an appointment later that afternoon but only one time slot available to do all the treatments I'm looking forward to doing. I still have not heard from my friend's recommendation and purged that idea. The agent did a pre-consultation, but suggested I needed to come in for my appointment so that my skin can be assessed in person. I gladly took the 3:30pm appointment on a Thursday afternoon. Once I arrived, I'm pleased with how pretty the front lobby is. Met with one technician and had a few questions answered. Let's just say I spent 4 hours at Cathy Valencia, had 3 ladies work on 3 different treatments/procedures, amazed at the cleanliness, professionalism, detail oriented with the work, also purchased 3 different face creams and a face wash which I was instructed to use in place of my regular beauty products for 2 weeks until the healing is complete. According to the website, CV has 6 branches all around Metro Manila and a branch in Tokyo & Nagoya! I can somehow get to Tokyo a little bit easier as I occasionally have work trips to Japan. I'm definitely coming back here again soon.

I've always loved Karada, and I was very excited to avail of their service again after 5 years --…read morethat's how long positive effect of bone realignment stays. I did AP Balance + Body Treatment today and felt a lot of pressure in my neck released and took my headache away. I only did an hour-long so it felt short, I feel like there's still some back pain left and that I need to do additional realignment. I'll be back soon for sure especially because I purchased their GCs which are at 20% off now.

So i settled and leave, after walking for i few minutes i had a massive headache had to take a grab home, therapist should've let me rest,..I'll probably not return to this branch although the experience of massage was great, will probably try some other branches to compare

Dear God, Geeeeze,…read morehow come you took forever to tell me I need my spine adjusted, stress re-lieved from my neck, muscles re-vived, lower back re-aligned, hands and feet re-stored to de-stressed lightness? You musta read my mind, I'm glad you led me here, because I now know that this therapy is healthy and I now know that with yoga, I have a working antidote to stress........well and vino. This service is all over Manila. Recommend signing up for the expert, trained in Japan, seulement by appointment. Other services are walk-in by highly trained staff and also pretty good. Check it out. Seriously looking if this is available in LA. Forever loyal even though it took you forever to lead me here, (i still forgive you) William Visits: 1

Message to the public. Karada is not a legitimate provider of Chiropractic care. Their therapists…read morereceive 2-3 weeks of training compared to the real chiropractors who train for 7 years in a university level post graduate course. As already posted to a yelp, it is shameful that they allow their posting under Chiropractors. We have many patients who are under proper and safe chiropractic care but who also receive Karada massage services. I appreciate that they can get a decent massage there as we both serve the public. However, it is a public misrepresentation to place Karada under the classification of chiropractors. They are not registered with the department of health like a chiropractor is. You can verify the legitimacy of my post as I am a US trained chiropractor and the CEO of Mabuhay Chiropractic Clinics, a Philippine corporation operating 16 clinic branches throughout the Philippines. Enjoy your massage but please, please do not put your spine and nerves at risk by letting them manipulate your spinal joints. They are not qualified, they do not X-ray the spine before that as we do. You can consider this is a public service message from a responsible professional of the chiropractic profession.
